are bush's black beans gluten free? I see they list natural flavor as an ingredient and I am wondering if it is flour. they do not list a 1-800 number to call. I am trying to cook this for lunch, so I would like to know asap. I do have dried beans, but they have not been soaked, so they will take hours to cook. Please help? thanks!

According to the food labeling laws, (in the US) natural flavoring is gluten-free. If there is wheat in something that is not obvious like wheat flour, it must be labeled. I have eaten things with natural flavoring and been fine. So according to the law, you should be safe.

That covers wheat, but what about barley?

THAT DOES NOT COVER BARLEY, RYE OR OATS! Wheat is a top 8 allergen so it must be disclosed, but the others do not have to be. Some companies take it upon themselves to disclose all gluten sources, but it is not a requirement and many companies do not. Natural flavors is one of the most dangerous ingredients, in my opinion.

My opinion also. I won't touch natural flavors without calling about them first.

This is from their website:

Are any of your products gluten-free? Which ones?

All of our Bush's Best products are gluten-free with the exception of Bush's Best Chili Beans, the four varieties of Bush's Homestyle Chili and Bush's Chili Magic

Hi,

What dry beans do you trust. I know whole foods packages their beans in a facility that has gluten in it so I don't know who to trust.

I agree about barley being a possibility in Natural Flavors. I ran across this with Mrs. Butterworth's Syrup when I was first diagnosed.

I DON'T trust Bush's Best. I got that rubber stamp email from a Ms. Kenna Hess in June 2008 saying all their flavors were gluten free except the chili lines. Go read the labels of their honey flavor along with their Boston Baked Beans flavor. You will find MODIFIED FOOD STARCH in the ingredients. That means gluten to me. It doesn't say "modified corn starch" on the labels.

Research modified food starch throughout this very web site. You'll see very strong relationships with flour or wheat.

If Bush's uses corn starch, then why don't they say so on the labels???

Sometimes even contacting a manufacturer is not good enough.

The modified food starch they use is corn. They are not required to say so because it is corn and corn is not considered an allergin. If it was from wheat they would have to declare it as such because wheat is a recognized allergin. I have never heard of a modified starch made from barley or rye.

You can trust them as far as gluten is concerned.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous.

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia. going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 9...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
